Rating: ★★★★ Category: Books Genre: Literature & Fiction Author: Aravind Adiga I'm not really a fan of anything about India, especially after figuring out why they have so many films per year (most of them I believe are just movie copies of some successful film from another country-- e.g. 'The Eye' India's version. I shouldn't have forced my dad to watch it if I knew it's just a rerun/version of the Japanese flick, 'The Eye' I've watched years back. I so hate nothing most than I don't even know how to call it, is it still called a revival? Well I do hate lousy revivals that sound like the singer just thought of singing it without really doing something with the song and such 'movie revivals' like this one is just as pathetic no matter how you look at it) and how I was constantly harassed by Indians through ym and friendster, no matter how I tell them as civil as I can that I'm not interested, how they maliciously touch my f

Rating: ★★★★★ Category: Movies Genre: Comedy Let me think of a word. Wonderful. Aww... What I would do to have myself an original copy of this movie. Love it, love it. Finally, after being disappointed by Chronicles of Riddick (2 Stars), Mr. Magorium's Emporium (3 Stars) and Lady In The Water (2 Stars aww don't get me started that it's Shamylan's work) this truly hit the spot in my holiday movie hunting on cable channels. I first watched these dudes, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (am I even allowed to even say couple if they are both men?) from Shaun of the Dead (today I found out they have a tv series, Spaced Out...drool), I even have a VCD of it, it was cool yeah, but not like this one. This one, did I even mention, I love it. I so love the twists and turns of the story, that wicked humor (you must see the cult with their flashlights haha!), that camera action you must have noticed zooming in of something same as with Shaun of the Dead, the gun fights (imagine f

Fact: No, I am not a Roman Catholic, no I don't also believe that Christ was born on the 25th of December, I don't even care when his earth birthday really was, I don't believe in Santa but I do believe that December is my most favorite month, truly because of the HOLIDAYS, the gifts, the decorations, the culmination of the entire year and also due to MY birthday. Now before anyone of you would react, please do read the entire thing first. Two weeks ago, we had a different preacher at our church (Church Of Christ. Nope, not the Latter Day Saints or whatever words on or before those three words. Just plain COC.) because our regular was invited in Mindanao. It wasn't the sermon but for a part of it he did mentioned about 'Christmas'. He was talking that for 5 years he haven't have anything on their table on the 25th, no decorations, no gifts, banned carolers and inaanaks. Hmm. I believe when he ever visits the house at this time, I'm pretty sure he&

Rating: ★★★ Category: Books Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy Author: Stephenie Meyer Breaking Dawn (12/6/08) Since I'm testing my extraction, I will use this time to write my review on this book (but now I'm typing it on notepad after scribbling it on paper days back). The last and fourth installment of the series (a friend told me so, the 5th, Midnight Sun, for those unaware, is still Twilight, just the Edward version. I'm currently reading a draft on my spare time though I don't intend on 'actually' reading it... I can't find a real copy... sorry... besides I'm reading a different book at this moment), I am disappointed that the saga ended so soon. Aww. I even thought of stopping abruptly only to realize I couldn't stop myself (when did I ever anyway?) in reading the next chapters (I really need to step it up if I wanted to finish those other books I'm itching to read) on finding out what will happen next especially when my (obvi

Rating: ★★★ Category: Books Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy Author: Michael Crichton (RIP) Finished this a month ago, I guess (it was before I started reading the Twilight book, which I just read after I watched the film, and basically that's how far in the past it is) which was never a part of my plans. The book just caught my eye in Booksale, seeing that it was in good condition and was so cheap, I've tried to give it a try. I've never read a Crichton book before and the fact that at that time I just read from Time Magazine that he just died made it all the more that I should read a work of his. Yes. Jackpot. The guy writes exactly what I want my writers to write, informative, fiction jiving with actual facts with a dash of witty humor. I especially like the character of Amy the Gorilla, she's such a cute (I never really thought you could ever have cute and gorilla in one sentence) and an adorable character. I also liked his descriptions and how he pre

Rating: ★★★ Category: Books Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy Author: Stephenie Meyer Finally finished the book yesterday (Dec 4, which means it took me 4 days of sneaking it in between my work times, and an hour per day before finally retiring to my bed) and yes. It did entertain me. Now do not forget I just made the review of the movie version and my instincts are so right on how I hated the film. Why? Well let me enumerate 'some' parts: 1. In watching the film, have you noticed the gaps? Those parts where Bella and Edward just stare endlessly at each other? I didn't get it on screen but I do now understood what it meant. She is mystified by his beauty and he, mystified with her smell. Well sorry didn't really get it. They don't look mystified to me. 2. Rosalie (no not that vampire girl with the spiky hair, the other one) was not the one who wore Bella's jacket. It was Esme (their "mother") who not only wore her jacket, but instead, completely exc

How would I write a poem to mourn A person I wasn't close to from highschool? We knew each other by name and face We may even had memories with our similar friends. But what would I write to mourn Someone I knew nothing special of? That all that I knew is less than who he really is, I may not even know who he had been lately! Why I would write a poem to mourn Is maybe due to reasons we are all unaware Or maybe because I never had the chance to learn Who he really was as others have known. Note: He wasn't my friend. He wasn't anyone in my life other than being my classmate. Yet this fact that makes me feel I should, in behalf of those who barely knew him, especially those people that surrounded him.

note: uhm di pa po to tapos. but this article i wrote was ages ago. I thought I should do myself a favor and post it na lang. waheheh... apologies... Aguinaldo Highway Kung nakatira ka sa Cavite, hindi mo kailanman mamimiss ang Aguinaldo Highway. Simula ng mag-college ako at magkatrabaho, mas matagal na ang ginugol kong oras sa daanang ito kaysa sa bahay. Paano banaman, ilang oras na byahe rin ang tinatagal ko rito makapasok lang (Pero syempre, mas madalas na ako ngayon sa Daang Hari). Marami na ang nakinabang at patuloy na nakikinabang dito. Andyan yung mga nagdedeliver ng goods, yung mga trabahador na nakatira sa Cavite at namamasukan sa kalakhang Maynila, mga akyat-bus vendors, malls, eskwelahan atbp. Ang laki nga ng naitulong nito sa akin. Dito, nagiging madali para sa akin ang pagiisip ng mga maaring isulat, ireview ang mga nangyari ng buong araw at makapahinga na rin kahit papaano sa maghapong pagpunta-punta ko sa kung saan-saan. Pero syempre andyan na rin yung sinisi ko n

Yeap. Well kasalanan to ni mark. Ngayon ko lang actually narealize na 'hey, oo nga, I can totally just write anything I want coz it's my blog anyway.' This song is in my playlist right now, nope, not because it's in, but because I honestly love the entire composition of it. Hope every man of my time is like that. Haha The Man Who Can't Be Moved *lyrics from lyricsmode.com Going back to the corner where I first saw you, Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move, Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand, Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am, Some try to hand me money they don't understand, I'm not...broke I'm just a broken hearted man, I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do, How can I move on when I'm still in love with you... Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me, And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be, Thinking maybe you'll come back here

We all carry our mobile phones with names and numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends. If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Campaign. The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" ( In Case Of Emergency). The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know

"Napurnada na naman ang pangarap kong mag-college," Yan ang narinig kong linya minsan pagsakay ko sa jeep  papasok ng trabaho. Dalawang malamang ay kaedad o kaya ay mas matanda lang sa akin ng kaunti (yung nagsabi kasi ng nasa taas ay nagbanggit na ang kapatid nya sa kursong Computer Engineering ay nag-O-OJT na, kasabay ng kapatid ko). Pareho silang nakauniporme na kulay ube, tanda na doon sila nagtatrabaho sa isa sa mga factory sa hilera ng Aguinaldo Highway. Bigla akong nalungkot sa narinig at biglang naikumpara sa sarili. Heto ako at nagtatrabaho sa isang kumpanya na naayon sa natapos ko at heto sya sa aking harap na ni hindi man lang ata nakatuntong ng kolehiyo. Malamang ay panganay pa sya katulad ko pero ang pinagkaiba namin ay sya, nagbigay daan sa pag-aaral ng nakababatang kapatid habang kaming tatlo ginapang sa pag-aaral ng aming mga magulang. Naisip ko tuloy, pagkatapos ng kontrata ko rito sa kumpanyang pinagtatrabahuhan ko, bukod sa biglang taas na ng expec

The following was posted in another forum: 50 Facts about the Philippines Dapat ba akong magalit sa kanya (to the person who sent the poster this list) sa pagsampal sa akin sa katotohanan?

Where even doctors, lawyers and engineers are unemployed. 48. Where everyone has his personal ghost story and superstition 47. Where mountains like Makiling and Banahaw are considered holy places. 46. Where everything can be forged. 45. Where school is considered the second home and the mall considered the third. 44.
